Women Noted for Their Good Feature
 Bright Eyes and Beautiful Figures.
 The aristocratic Creole lady is often model for the imitation of her sex. She is an obedient and respectful daughter, faithful wife and @ devot- ed mother. She is soft of speech, and has a grace of manner which gives a charm to all she does. We'll educated and accomplished, with keen wit, she makes a brilliant figure in society, but is, nevertheless, an excellent manager of her household, and gives a most careful supervision to every detail that will enhance the comfort of her lord. She looks diligently after the physical and intellectual welfare of her chil- dren; especially are her daughters trained under her own eyes in all that goes to make woman lovely in mind and person. Their tasks for school are conned by her side. their music lessons are practiced within her hearing, that she may detect the least false note. She shares in all their amusements; she is their companion, their confidante. theil friend. They come to her with all their little hopes and fears, sure of her sympathy. When her daughter is grown, the Creole matron blooms again into rich second youth; her own girlhood is renewed in that of a child; they are scarcely mother and daughter any longer, but a pair of loving sisters. The young girl is edu- cated in convent, and leads a se- cluded existence until she is launched into society. to and then in the joyous life that bursts upon her she is al- ways surrounded by the same watchful care that guarded her childhood. Young girls are not allowed 10 go into society without being accompanied by their mothers, or some other married lady, as chaperon-one of the many Creole customs which has been generally adopted by the American residents oi New Orleans.
 These young girls are often wonder fully beautiful. Good features, hand some eyes and graceful figures com bine to make them very attractive, their beauty being not infrequently Oriental in type, though the vivacity of their manner marks them as essen- tially French in character Many Creole women are very accomplished. They have a skill in music and paint ing that is often artistic. In the literary clubs which society women have inauguratcd of late years in New Orleans, the American ladies have been astonished to find the Creole ladies quite as well posted as them selves in English literature, while possessing a much greater Knowledge of the literature of other countries. But an accomplishment still more attractive to the impecunious young man seeking matrimony is the exquisite taste with which these maid- ems fair will fashion their own gowns and bonnets when circumstances require them to make these things at
 
 home. The Creole women have in- herited their French taste for dress, and in a greater degree than other Americans they regard the fiat of Paris'as the supreme authority in all matters concerning the toilet. Also, the Creole women of all ages and all classes are devout. Neither social en- agreements, nor weather, nor other ob- stacles are allowed to interfere with the discharge of their religious duties. Are they not somewhat superstitious? Some of them little so, perhaps, in remembrance of voudou stories told them in their infancy by old negro nurses. .-Ne'0 Orleans Cor. Omd1a Re- publican.
